Amelio Consulting has many years experience in development procurement, assisting clients to procure new buildings through property developers – we are able to undertake the lead consultant role as well as providing technical property expertise.  We are used to co-ordinating the input of lawyers and all the specialists needed to deliver a beneficial development agreement and then the monitor the project to completion.

We support your in-house team by providing the critical expertise and resource need for these projects or otherwise lead a team whether in-house, consultants or a combination of the two.

Our approach and services include:

Strategy:  Before embarking on the procurement of a developer for your site, it is vital to have clear aims and a focused strategy for delivering those aims.  We work with clients to understand the site(s), the constraints and opportunities in order to maximise the end benefits.  Risks such as Planning, contamination, etc. are assessed in depth;  a clear package can then be presented to the market in order to optimise end value and outcomes.  Soft Market Testing is undertaken to check the strategy and partnership approach will be successful when put to the market.

Public Procurement:  We are experienced in the use of Public Procurement Regulations and have seen how it has developed over the years.  We have developed practical ways of getting the best outcomes and have worked with lawyers to ensure our processes are robust, but also provide a clear and fair route to deliver the best, and fully auditable, results.

Bid/Tender Management:  We are able to handle all the administrative processes involved with managing the bids and tenders as they go through various stages whilst keeping a handle on the overall project objectives.

Developer Selection:  The success of the final stages of developer selection whilst often the most difficult, do come down to how well the project has been defined at the start.  However assisting the Authority to make those final decisions is something we are used to structuring and adept at getting right.

Development or Partnership Agreement:  Of course the selection of a developer is not the same as completing the final transaction.  We are able to stand by our clients and often lead the negotiations with the selected partner and between lawyers to ensure the deal is closed with all matters and contingencies properly accounted for.

Project Management:  Once the transaction has been closed, the project is often just starting and we can work to set up the process of monitoring the project as it develops on site, or we can provide the expertise to monitor the works and the delivery of the project objectives.
